Catching up...

Wow, it's been a year since I last posted!!

In that year, I have changed jobs, which means I work more hours and cannot exercise as much. I really need to find a way to work that into my day. I also lost my grandfather in October (he was only 68). His passing due to complications from diabetes was a real eye-opener for me. I need to be more health conscious and take better care of myself. Some days are easier than others to remember this!

Well, I got down to 195 at one point and am back up to 204 (as of last week).
So...I am going to try the blogging again to see if that helps...I will share the link too, then I know other people are looking at it. *blush*

Wish me luck!!!!

Breakfast-2/21/2006

Rice bar and a banana, mocha madness.
Tough time eating. *sigh* the nausea is not fun!

Weigh-in 2/20/2006

I have now completed 2 hours of Callanetics and been pretty religious about the WATP videos. I can already see spots where I have started to lose some of the fat. I lost 2 pounds last week, for a total of 9 this year. I am down to 203, my lowest since who knows when, LOL!!

I just have to keep it up! I have been pretty nauseous and having a tough time getting food in, so I am struggling now to eat ENOUGH calories. Go figure, LOL!

Day after first hour of callanetics

Just putting down my *morning after* aches and pains, LOL!!!

• Triceps ache, but in a good way
• hip flexors....doesn't help I am wearing heels, LOL
• neck hurts--I will have to try to remember to support my neck with a pillow or my arms
• I am happy that my back doesn't hurt!!

I plan on doing my yoga today to stretch out the poor aching muscles!

Meals/journal for 2/13/06

Breakfast:
1 Envirokids Rice Bar
1 Dannon Activia yogurt, blueberry, with peaches and almonds
Mocha Madness from Honey Dew with cream and 2 splenda

Lunch:
Mac and cheese

Snack:
Pears

Dinner:
Mac and cheese

Okay, so today wasn't great, but the mac and cheese was low-fat, and AF came today, so I was craving comfort food. I stayed within calorie range, and exercised well. I was fairly tired today, and had to take an Ultracet. The neck pain is still pretty bad and keeps causing migraines. Off to bed now!

WATP: Miracle Mile

I only did the short video today, as I also did my Callanetics. I bought 3 Walk Away the Pounds videos: Miracle Mile, 2 Mile walk, and the 4 Mile Weight Loss Walk. I will wait to see how I feel tomorrow, and I will either do the Miracle Mile or the 2 mile walk. I don't think I have enough endurance for the 4 Mile one yet.

Day one--Callanetics

Today was hour ONE of the callanetics video. I couldn't do 100 on each exercise, but I will work up to that. The muscles did hurt while doing the exercises, and I felt like jello when I was through. I will stretch again before bed to help ease the soreness in the morning. Let's hope it works!
